Seaside promenades, harbours and busy quays recur in prints by Poulton & Sons, the photographic firm associated with Lee in southeast London, whose views were published between 1895 and 1901. British resorts form a large group, from Brighton, Bognor and Saltburn to Dunoon and the Isle of Wight, while the docks at Hull, Grimsby and Hartlepool set working ports beside the holiday towns. Railway-era hotels and civic buildings appear along the waterfronts, and overseas subjects reach Algeria and Norway, with Algiers street scenes and fjord-country settlements.
